The promises immediately broken was Britain cutting off 2/3’s of the mandate territory and giving it to the Arabs- no Jews allowed.

You can not argue that that British were in an untenable position, when it is that exact position that the British voluntarily took upon themselves.

Why is that a broken promise? The British were given the power to administer the mandate. They were to allow a Jewish homeland. There's nothing in that document that says they can't divide up the mandate exactly how they like.

Just because the British administered the whole mandate doesnt mean that all the mandate was going to an Israeli homeland.
